The development partnership of DeviceVM and Insyde Software will result in significant benefits to PC makers as well as end users including:

1. A turnkey solution for OEMs, with a standardized interface between InsydeH2O and Splashtop, accelerating the deployment of the combined solution across different OEM platforms.

2. Advanced UEFI-based "Quick Boot" technology making pre-boot applications instantly available after power is turned on.
